Description

The Export-VM cmdlet exports a virtual machine to disk. This cmdlet creates a folder at a specified location having three subfolders: Snapshots, Virtual Hard Disks, and Virtual Machines. Each of these folders contains the associated files. The Snapshots folder contains the associated Snapshots, and the Virtual Hard Disk folder contains the specified virtual machine's virtual disks. The Virtual Machines folder contains the configuration XML of the specified virtual machine.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Export-VM -Name Test -Path D:\

Exports virtual machine Test to the root of the D drive.

Example 2

PS C:\> Get-VM | Export-VM -Path D:\

Exports all virtual machines to the root of the D drive. Each virtual machine will be exported to its own folder.
